FoF MOTM Fulham 2 v 1 Chelsea and post match thread = Wilson

[iansthailand]

Why have you got 1-1 as the score.😄

He's a closet Blue!!!!

[Holders]

I have to say I'm proud of the boys beating perhaps the nastiest group of players I've ever seen at the Cottage.

That's a high bar.

It's funny how different people see the same match. I thought that it was a very tired slow display from Fulham but the sending off probably decided the match. My heart was in my mouth every time that they got a corner

We played well and held our own but I also worried about corners, Leno looked really vulnerable each time

[Simply91]

I was worried about Timothy coming into the game but overall I think he did well given his lack of minutes this season.He won some important battles and headers!

As much as our subs really helped (which they did) we benefited from palmer coming off at the same time.

Motm is Wilson for me. What a player

My vote

We also benefited from Palmer, Enzo and Tosin all getting yellow cards in the aftermath of the red card

I agree.

[H4usuallysitting]

Wilson, Smith Rowe & Diop for me ...but can't fault any player

[bog]

Aint it nice that I am struggling to make my choice as everyone played so well. But I go for Harry as anyone who scores a winner against that lot is special. (recently Vinicius, Muniz) Well played everyone. A mention for Raul's celebration for his brilliant goal! I will not try to copy this.             

[alfie]

It shout for Berge and Castange, but I went for Raul, for his sheer work rate and a well taken goal.

Terrific win and three points!  Had to vote Wilson motm.  Was dangerous the whole game, a real problem for Chelsea.

I thought after the red when game opened up a bit, we were a little dodgy and sloppy with some of our passing.  I think during this unbeaten run, our best overall performance was the Liverpool game, where I think we had cleaned up a lot of that sloppiness, easy giveaways and unforced errors.  But, still a good game v Chelsea.  Always a pleasure beating that lot!

Just because a team is up a man doesn't mean an automatic win or even a draw.  I thought FFC, with a few exceptions, played real well offensively and trying to take advantage of being up a man.  But these top clubs are loaded with talent, and it's still not an easy game to get a result.  Was it last season or the one before, when we played City and they were a man down for much of the match, and we still lost and actually looked like we were the team down a man.  So, cap tip to Jimenez, Wilson and the rest of the lads for a job well done v a loaded top club.

Robinson - thought he had poor game, very poor on his passing/crosses
Berge - one of his better games of the season
Leno - had good game
Sessegnon/Kevin - both played real well, and made that whole left side attack a real problem for Chelsea, when Kevin finally scores a goal he could really go off positively
Jimenez/Wilson - great jobs by both, scoring the goals, Wilson dangerous the whole game
Garnacho - glad he stayed on bench whole game, maybe being down a man tactically kept him there, always worried about him, really dangerous player, still remember how he beat us with goal at the death when with ManU

As did Mr. Silva, not wanting to be left out...which I thought was hilarious.

[Nick Bateman]

Garnacho on the bench was an error by the Under 21 boss as was substituting Palmer after they had equalised. Now they have a Premiership rookie to take the reins. Good luck Chelsea or rather not!

[WindyCity]

Additional to my post above - I thought our defensive set up to start the game (bend don't break) was very good prior to the red.  I think, if memory serves, we even had a couple half chances to score.  Anyway, looked similar to what we were doing v Liverpool, and we are a tough team to break down and score against when in that arrangement.  Of course, the red changed the game and play opened up.

We had two chances I think before the red, though we came close a couple of times to imploding with some very poor backpass/pass accross the box choices, Chelsea were pressing us here and we looked shaky. Once the red happened Chelsea all but gave up pressing the keeper.

Orrible bunch of cheats

Shouldn't be surprised by anything from a club that revered John Terry.

I'm surprised this hasn't been flagged with its own thread to gain more exposure. The club should take this up as it's rare to see such blatant gamesmanship.  It should be punished, or at least called out officially.

I see Harrison Reed got a vote, I don't recall, but he must've had a fantastic seven minutes?

Methinks any time Harrison Thunderbolt Reed makes an appearance he is gonna garnish votes.  That strike is tattooed in my brain, and I suspect in many FFC fans heads too.
